Welcome to Bergen County, NJ AOH Father Solanus Casey Division # 32

10t10 10thAnniversary:2007 -201717

Do not stand at my grave and weep, I am not there...I do not sleep. I am the thousand winds that blow...I am the diamond glints on snow...I am the sunlight on ripened grain... I am the gentle autumn rain. When you wakin in the morning's hush, I am the swift uplifting rush. Of gentle birds in circling flight...I am the soft star that shines at night. Do not stand at my grave and cry...I am not there...I did not die...
